kynephness/hemoccult consult
Subject: kynephness/hemoccult consult
Could you give a little more information? Where there any other symptoms relative to the stool character? Any other positive findings in GI tract (ROS, physical exam or lab)? Diagnosis? What was the exact content surrounding the patient's "consult"ing the Hemoccult card? In a long stretch, an MD might "consult" the Hemoccult card by viewing it directly, but the patient is smearing it with stool and submitting it.

No they are three separate views.
Subject: No they are three separate views.
No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.

When it is really prothrombin time, it makes NO sense to type pro time as 2 words....I really don't care what BOS says about this one particular issue. The word really is prothrombin time and MDs say protime....I give them protime. Just my take on it.
